From what we’ve been told, the update doesn’t include anything but the latest security fixes. Verizon hasn’t yet updated its Galaxy Note 8 support page yet, so we’ll have to wait and see if the new QR code scanner for the camera app has made the cut. That’s perhaps the last new feature we can expect the Galaxy Note 8 to get, as it will soon be two years old and has also received two major Android OS upgrades. Thankfully, the Galaxy Note 10 will offer plenty of reasons for Note 8 owners to upgrade when it makes its official debut next month.

You can manually check if the update is available for your device over the air. Just open the Settings app, tap on Software update, and then select Download and install. Updates are released in stages, so not everyone may get it right away. You can download the firmware for the update from our database if you don’t wish to wait for the over-the-air release.
